Answer 1

For doing this what you can do is create a selector and apply it to parent view of your row.xml

• Define color in strings.xml

  #009FE3

• Create a selector

Now apply it as android:background="@drawable/row_selector" for parent view of your row.

• Set ListView as CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE in java code

  listview.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);

• And finally setAdapter to your ListView.

  listview.setAdapter(adapter);

• For selection of default item in ListView use,

  listview.setItemChecked(position, true);

I had created a demo example for the same you can download it from my github
